Clover Hill is a dedicated méthode traditionnelle sparkling producer from cool-climate Tasmania, celebrated for finesse and uncompromising quality. Clover Hill believes that the most critical elements of sparkling wine are distinctive styles, consistently produced which enables their customers to develop a deep understanding and trust in their brand. Multi-vintage Clover Hill is a story of complexity. Across vintages four different techniques are used to hold reserve wines, which gives the winemakers more creative freedom, resulting in more expressive wines. This reserve wine approach preserves freshness and character and provides the winemaking team with the ultimate conditions to deliver their house style consistently, each and every year.
About this wine from the winemaker: 59% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 6% Pinot Meunier. “This Multi Vintage Exceptionnelle exhibits a light straw/green hue in the glass, with a fine persistent mousse. On the nose it delivers vibrant citrus and stone fruits which are complemented by layers of creamy complexity. The palate offers a crisp acidity and a concentration of rich and balanced lemon curd and lime which draw the wine through to a delicious and extended finish.
95 points, Stuart Know, The Real Review “Bright straw yellow and a subtle bead in the core. Poached apple and just baked sourdough aromatics. Fruit tightens into green apple on the palate, still some nice savoury bakery complexity. Both driving acid and a mousse of vigour ensure it has intensity and length, to a crisp and dry finish that lingers long.”
93 points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion “Shows light straw with green flashes in the glass and a fine, energetic bead. Citrus and stone fruits on the nose with some crunchy green apple, dabs of cream, proving bread, white flowers, sea spray and stone. Crisp, balanced and refreshing with a briney, mineral line; all detail and velocity and outstanding, sapid drinking at this price.”
